HTC Orbit 2 Factory Re-set HELP! - General Questions and Answers

OK, I have looked through the forum and threads but cannot yet see my solution so I need help!
Problem.... I have a second hand HTC Orbit 2 running Windows but .... it has car ID and password log-on that I think is a TOM TOM addition and I cannot get passed it and I need to get rid of it....if possible!
I have tried all the listed hard re-sets and they do not work.
If someone suggest re-installing Windows and deleting everything that would be fine by me, but I will need help doing that!
I would just prefer to get rid of the log-on. It is not my main phone it is just a project, I have a XDA Orbit (nice reliable phone)
So lets get the ball rolling ... can you help me?

This seems to be also my Problem.
The first step (Hard-SPL) flashing works fine, so does the second. But then, after I am told to watch my devices screen, a wierd error message pops up un my PC and I can't do anything.
Does anyone have any Idea whats wrong?

(Oh and by the way, this threads topic is really bad! how should anyone find us here if you write nothing other than "Help!" I'd recommend "Cheetah unlocking failed" or something more explicit!)

I guess if you have a Touch Cruise, and not a UK O2 branded XDA you'll have to go to the HTC site
That is correct, the HTC branded devices have different firmware to the o2 branded devices. You can obtain that from the HTC website.

Orbit 2 WM6.1 ROM
Loaded it today!
A couple of nice tweaks but I still feel the os needs a major revamp which will hopefully come with WM7.0.
I'm not a big stylus user and a couple of things really bug me, especially the silly little 'x' to close windows in the top right of the screen.
Whenever I'm in the Comms Manager and want to close the thing I seem to keep turning on 'airplane mode' rather than hitting the 'x' button because they're so close to each other!
I still think the device is the best out there though.
just wondering if anyone else has found this problem at som points my orbit will freeze and then start reacting like 10 seconds later.
This is the only problem i have yet to find/annoy me with the rom so far so quite happy, even more happy by the speed increase over the original rom
Hi, i downloaded the rom update, from O2 was wondering if gps and tomtom work fine still, and also with igo 8, i dont wanna flash it and find my gps wont work, thanks peeps.
I have updated to 6.1 and all appears OK, in fact I havn't noticed any major diffirence. For info I have both TomTom and CoPilot working OK.
I am no expert on this ROM upgrading lark, but it took me hours to get my Orbit back to its previous state with the installation and configuration of various apps.
Do those brave guys who are constantly changing their ROMS have to go through hours of re-configuration each time or is there an easy way??
A
is that with your internal gps, i have not got a clue myself about this stuff, you dont unplug anything while its doing it do you.
Battery life seems much improved. Also, the QuickGPS util works very well and a lock can be had in seconds rather than minutes.
One funny - my Direct Push email would not work correctly after the initial upgrade. I could download all my content but the device refused to stay in sync requiring a send/receive to empty the Outbox. No amount of deleting/recreating the Exchange partnership helped. In the end I chose "Clear Storage" and did it all again from scratch. That did the trick....
From my other thread in the sub forum...
Hello!
I'm trying to upgrade my orbit 2 from wm6 to 6.1 using the official patch on the 02 website. When I enter in my serial number I get the download link with some instructions.
One such instruction is...
"Please note that if you already have CoPilot satellite navigation software on your Xda, read this installation manual (links to PDF) before upgrading to Windows Mobile 6.1"
The PDF talks about upgrading from wm5 to wm6 with co pilot 6 installed. Now im upgrading from 6 to 6.1 with copilot 7 installed
Do I still need to follow the guide? or can I just install the upgrade without touching the copilot 7?
I dont want to lose the use of the co pilot software by not deactivating it prior to the upgrade.
I tried calling o2 but they were useless.
Cheers
just reactivate it as you did the first time round @orbit2user123z
Windows 6.1 for O2 Xda Orbit 2 - and the features are?
Now this upgrade is available what do we O2 users get in terms of features? The HTC version on their site details some minot tweaks but not enough to want me to install the upgrade, can anyone give us a definite list of features in O2's new ROM?
I've got it all working now - cheers Madheadwil
Before i found this thread i thought my Orbit 2 was faulty, i could not get any roms to install onto my device but now YESSS!, thank you

That would be really helpful. I don't want to waste a couple of evenings reinstalling and reconfiguring all my applications if 6.1 doesn't do a lot more than 6.0 (or the things which have changed are things which I wouldn't use). Anybody know?

help me please

Hello,
I just started using HTC Tytn II and when I was out of UK, I needed to unlock the phone from Orange to enable me using it. I then sent it to a shop via a friend. Then I just realised when it got back to me, the software is a bit different - on turning the phone on it reads "HTC touch dual".
I suspect the person from the shop put the touch software in my Tytn.
So that was fine. I do not really have problem with it, in fact i get used to the function already. but i have problem to have my gps working. i could get the map on the phone, but the receiver doesnt work.
I wonder if anybody could help me, in plain term (i am not good with gadgets, softwares etc) direct me towards solving this problem.
do i need to change it back to the original software,and if so, how?
or how can i make my gps working?
thank you very much in advance =)

This isn't rocket science you can do it.
I do not think that this is a Rom issue, but a Radio issue, if you can check what radio you are using and make sure it matches the Rom, the instructions are there in the link that Fifa provided..

Acer n30 memory wipe help!!

Hi,
I'm new to this forum and i hope somebody will be able to help me.
I have an ACER N3, old model i know, but a great work horse. I use it for my courier business as it provides all my delivery notes etc with this great software.
HOWEVER, for some reason and i honestly cannot fathom it, my ACER has completley lost everything, so much so that Windows mobile 5 start even come up any more. The only thing i see now is the white screen with the blue pda picture.
I have hard reset it several time each time with no success and getting no further than the white screen.
I hope (without causing offence) this has happend to someone before who can give me an answer of how to reinstall Windows Mobile 5 (the rest of the stuff i lost i can retrieve)
I have searched through everything i received when i bought it and there is no cd or anything. Apparently i only need the rom image of WM5 and it should work again or if ian get some kind of windows mobile 5 updater, maybe this will work?
I hope someone can help.
Thanks in adavance
Chris
i would connect it to usb and run the firmware install i'm sure acer got on their support page
Thanks for your quick respnse. However i have looked all over the acer website and the only thing they have on their support site is a USB driver update.
I hope there is a way of resolving this cause i could really do with not having to buy a new new PDA.
Thanks again for your help.
acer removed it from their ftp.... i was also searchin for it to reflash my rom...
finally was able to find it.. thanks to google....

[Q] htc TP2 doesn't boot/react

Hello,
this is my first post and I hope, it is at the right position.
I bought a htc touch pro 2 one year ago with windows mobile 6.5. After a while it had more and more bugs. I wanted to install windows 7 which I can install freely (students account). I've tried it and got "Ungültige Verkäufer-ID". Therefore I thought I have to flash the cell phone. I've tried it and after a lot of tries, I found
HardSPL kit for Mega Touch2 by jockyw2001 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649780) and I thought it would work. Don't blaim me, yes, it did not.
I've opened a .bat-Datei (flash-hardspl.bat) and after about 1 minute, the screen was black and nothing works anymore. I've tried the hard and soft reset buttons. I pulled off the battery, tried to start it from sd-card. Nothing worked.
Is there any solution for me?
Thanks a lot so far....
Has anybody an idea?! I'm sorry, but I really do not know what to do or even if I can do anything.
